Airehead Posted March 22, 2023 Share #1 Posted March 22, 2023 In its heyday, during the 1950s and 1960s, Harris was a thriving resort community of bungalow colonies, hotels and rooming houses. it is not its heyday. I did drive by the Woodstock museum. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Kirby Posted March 22, 2023 Popular Post Share #2 Posted March 22, 2023 You are a mere 22 miles from where I"m going to be buried!!!! And a mere 17 miles from where I spent most summers as a kid. My Grandmother met my Grandfather when he came from the city to spend his vacation at the boarding house run by her parents. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Kirby Posted March 22, 2023 Popular Post Share #4 Posted March 22, 2023 We were in Callicoon Center which is about 8 miles from Roscoe. The boarding house where my grandparents met was in Obernburg. The World Famous Roscoe Diner became our go to lunch option on trips to the Catskills after the restaurant that was our go to for the prior 50 years closed (that was the restaurant that served the hot turkey sandwich that made the Not Wild Sister not wild). Here are my grandparents on their wedding day at the boarding house. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Posted March 22, 2023 Share #5 Posted March 22, 2023 The Roscoe Diner is actually in Roscoe, NY - also known as Trout Town USA because it's a big trout fishing town. Next time you get this close, you have to let me know. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next time you get this close, you have to let me know. I definitely will. I would love to tour around with you. Feels like a slice of American history. Saw Fiddle Lake and I think White Lake on the way in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Posted March 22, 2023 Share #7 Posted March 22, 2023 Harris is outside of our usual Catskills range, but close enough. If you really want to experience the local culture, you need to come back during the summer when one of the towns is having a Penny Social fundraiser for the volunteer fire department. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airehead Posted March 22, 2023 Author Share #8 Posted March 22, 2023 I think I have to come to three meetings here. Today, I am the trainer but next two times just a participant. One is late July. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a plus in my book. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfect shirt cuff to jacket fit as well. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffJim Posted March 22, 2023 Share #11 Posted March 22, 2023 I’ve explored most of the nooks and crannies of NY state. Except the Catskills and Long Island area. Sounds pretty cool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Parsnip had an aunt and uncle in Massena, Virgil and Lynn were nice people. Virgil called his wife Mary so he could use “Virg n Mary” in conversations. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
